Contest begins ~ November 1 and runs through November 15.

Now, hurry! (You know you want that foot butter!)

Beginning November 1st, Brenda ~ Garden of Learning ~ has challenged bloggers to join her in posting one thing they are grateful for each day for the month. I am posting this now, so you have a little time to blog-hop over and get signed up.

Can you believe it is nearly November? Remember, thirty days of Gratitude! See you Monday!

Monday, is also the first day for NaNoWriMo!

November is when authors and would be authors race to see if they can put 50,000 words on paper in 30 days! You can check out the NaNo website for all the details and you can join their forum and visit with other writers who are participating!  This November Writing project brings Professional and Amateur writers from all over the world together.

By the way, that is roughly just under 1700 words per day and it is difficult to achieve! If you miss a day, it is the pits hard to catch up!

Your writing doesn’t have to be perfect! What NaNo does is encourage writers to put their ideas on paper and write that first draft (typos and all).

And while I have never finished, it is fun to try!

Okay, I think this is going to wrap it up for this Sonday! May the month of November be filled with good things for you and your family.

Blessings,

Cheryl
